Skimmer for 30 G SW tank

[christchild5]

I have a 30 g Saltwater tank. 20 lbs of live rock. 2 peppermint shrimp, 2 clown fish, and 2 cardinals as well as some Astreia snails. Our protein skimmer just kicked the bucket. Wondering what people recommend in ways of getting a new one. Do I need or should I get a new one? If so, what kind would you recommend. I am looking to spend under $60 if possible. if anyone has any for sale please let me know. Looking forward to being able to be a part of this forum.

The bubble magus qq1 is rated up to 25 gallons, but might still work. Needle wheel and runs pretty quiet. Ive been running one a few weeks now on my pick and I love it. Its $89 at marine depot. Micro bubbles the first few days but broke in fast and has since stopped

A lot of people upgrade their ps1 when getting a fluval all in one system.(aka eBay market is flooded) I pull some muck with mine. Total newbie so if it should be more or better don't know. Will see I do pull crude which I take as a good sign

Sent you a private message about a skimmer I have sale. Then I realized we need more information about your tank. Is your 30 gallon an AIO tank? Do you run a sump? Are you looking for an HOB skimmer. What kind of skimmer did you have before? The more details you provide for us, the more we can help point you in the right direction.
